Hi, I was wondering what the acronym GUMPS stood on a landing
checklist.
Larry

Gas Undercarriage Mixture Prop

Never heard the S before.

There used to be CIGARTIP

Which was:

Controls, Instruments, Gas, Altimeter. can't remember the 'R', Trim
'I'
I don't know either and Props

Good one for simple lightplanes is CIGMFT. (Cig means fine tobacco)

Controls Instruments Gas Mixture Flaps Trim.

Betie

Neither of those had a gear check?

Unless R stands for "Retractable?"


Why would you need a gear check for takeoff?


Corporate pilot picks up the newly painted and upholsterd Aero Commander
and didn't check the gear switch.

About half way down the runway (where the bump was) the gear sucks up
and the newly painted belly scapes for a while, but the thing gets
airborne.

Once around the pattern and back to the shop for new belly skin and
more paint.

That's why a gear check for takeoff.

Nope, that;'s why a cockpit safety inspection.

Or for people who are worried about a gear-up, it's

Gear
Undercarriage
Make sure the gear is down
Put the gear down if it isn't
See the gear down lights?

It's now nine months that I've been flying a fixed gear airplane.

I'm *stiill* paranoid.

I always got confused whether G was Gas or Gear, so I started using
STUMP:

Seatbelts
Tanks
Undercarriage
etc.
